The Mac Pro was released in August 2006 as the successor to the Power Mac G5. The cylindrical design introduced in 2013 presented significant challenges in terms of cooling efficiency and expandability, even leading to Apple having to apologize to professional users.

Then, in 2019, it was redesigned into a standard tower-type design with eight PCIe slots. The mesh design, intended for cooling, was sometimes ridiculed as resembling a ' cheese grater .'

In 2023, an update was released that included the M2 Ultra chip, but the chassis design itself remained unchanged from 2019. Due to its high starting price of 1,048,800 yen (including tax), it failed to establish itself as a flagship product.

As of the time of writing, Apple's role as a professional desktop is now filled by the Mac Studio, a smaller machine with new Apple Silicon. The Mac Studio can be configured with the latest M3 Ultra chip, supports up to 256GB of unified memory and 16TB of SSD storage, and covers almost all features except for PCIe expansion slots. Furthermore, Apple offers low-latency capabilities that allow multiple Macs to work together to expand performance via RDMA connectivity through Thunderbolt 5, which further reduces the need for the Mac Pro in the ultra-high-end market.

Apple has officially confirmed to 9to5Mac that it has discontinued sales of the Mac Pro. As a result, the product has been removed from Apple's official website, and the purchase page now redirects to the Mac homepage.

Furthermore, Apple has stated that it has no plans to offer any new Mac Pro hardware in the future. This means that Apple's desktop lineup will be streamlined to three models: the 24-inch iMac, the Mac mini, and the Mac Studio.
